Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reunites with the Queen in Scotland

July 05, 2017

Justin Trudeau enjoyed a happy reunion with the Queen on Wednesday (July 5), when he
dropped by Her Majesty’s official residence in Scotland, the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
According the prime minister’s office, the get-together was organized to give
Justin the opportunity to “honour [Queen
Elizabeth’s] importance to Canada's history, thank her for her continued
dedication to Canada and carrying out her duties with such grace and
strength.”

Unfortunately,
the PM’s visit was a short one, as he has many engagements lined up in Ireland
and Scotland before heading to Hamburg
on July 7 for the G20 Summit.

Wednesday’s
meeting marks the second time the prime minister has had a private audience
with the monarch. Justin first met the Queen back in Nov. 2015 when he visited
Buckingham Palace shortly after winning the federal election.

The Queen
arrived in Scotland on Monday (July 3) to kick off the annual Holyrood Week of celebrations.
The monarch will venture back to London next week to host
King Felipeand Queen Letizia of Spain at Buckingham Palace before retreating to Balmoral in northern
Scotland for her summer holiday.
